National Affairs: The Lead Changes

A month ago, when Pollster George Gallup asked Republican voters about
their preference for President, Senator Taft led General Eisenhower 34%
to 33%. This week Gallup announced the results of a new poll of
Republicans taken just before the Nebraska and Wisconsin primaries. The
score: Ike 37%, Taft 34%. Among Gallup's independent voters, Ike has
extended his long lead over all Republican prospects; he has 50% of
their vote, compared to 15% for Taft.
